Voter apathy in Akoko Southeast

There is voter apathy in parts of Akoko Southeast as few voters turned out to vote.
In several polling units in Isua, the headquarters of Akoko Southeast, few people were on queue.
In Unit 003, Court Hall, Isua IV, Ward 10 with 334 registered voters, less than 20 voters were on queue.
An electoral officer said voting began by 8.30am because people “did not turn out on time”.
In Unit 011, Ward 10, there were also few voters but the process was smooth.
Policemen had little to do as they sat together in groups.
Some businesses were open as traders made brisk sales.
A restaurant operator, Mrs Ibori, said she would not vote because she believes the local government had been neglected.
“For the past eight months, we have not had light in this area and the government has not done anything about it.
“People here are not happy with the government. Those who are voting must have been induced to vote,” she said.

I don’t know who will be able to explain to these people that the way to show that you do not like the government is to vote against it. If Mimiko government neglected your area, vote against his candidate. The vote is the only tool voters have to make those in government pay attention.
